Beirut (AFP) – Lebanese protesters spray paint slogans that read “your day will come very soon” outside Lebanon’s Central Bank in Beirut, where a small group of depositors gather to demand access to their blocked savings. Lebanon is in the midst of a crippling economic crisis that the World Bank has dubbed as one of the worst in modern history. Depositors have been locked out of their savings by cash-strapped banks for nearly four years, and the Lebanese currency has lost more than 90% of its value against the US dollar.
